A girl who lost everything to an injury finds herself falling for the man managing the restaurant she works at, and neither of them knows how to say it out loud. The show doesn't bend toward wish fulfillment, it bends toward the quiet, unbearable truth that sometimes the person who sees you clearly is the person you're not supposed to want. By the end, you realize it was never about whether they'd be together. It was about two people learning to live again by accident, in the same room, pretending not to notice each other.

Akira Tachibana was once a standout on her high school track team, but a severe foot injury has kept her from running the way she used to. Reserved and rarely showing her feelings, the 17-year-old now works part-time at a family restaurant. Her manager, Masami Kondou, is a 45-year-old divorced father who once hoped to become a writer. He treats his customers with a gentle kindness that others see as weakness, but that same quality draws Akira to him, and she quietly falls for him despite the wide gap in their ages. As they spend more time together at the restaurant, her feelings deepen until she decides to confess. Their seemingly separate lives cross in a way that pushes each of them to rethink who they are. A quiet romantic drama grounded in everyday life.
